So my Christmas Rumball Illustrated Recipe download was a hit!
I have honestly never received so much positive feedback and actual email and text message ‘thank you’s’ from any other post. So thank you to everyone who got in touch.
(I loved that some people found it necessary to triple the rum, or use OP rum – obviously hard time rumballers from way back.)
Anyway, I thought about it, and while I’m not keen on committing to any sort of 365 project, I have decided I can handle a 52 project – and have decided to do a weekly illustrated recipe.
So here’s my first for the year – my Silent Mandarin Cake.
If you’ve been following me for years, you will have seen a version of this one some time ago. It’s still one of my favourites. In fact, I made it again tonight and you can use oranges or lemons if you don’t have mandarins (I just think mandarins are very special, don’t you?).
Why is it ‘silent’?
Because you don’t need electric beaters… which means it can be made while babies are sleeping (this was where this recipe began) or while adults are sleeping (if it’s 11pm and you realise you’re supposed to take a birthday cake to work tomorrow). Always good to have a sneaky cake recipe up your sleeve.
It’s a simple recipe to make with kids, or a super quick one to make by yourself. And it’s my gift to you this week.

So I’ll let you sneak off and make your silent cake now… shhhh… 🙂
